A motor-driven throttle valve for an exhaust duct and having: a tubular duct, which is designed so that exhaust gases can flow through it; a throttle shutter, which is arranged inside the tubular duct and is mounted so as to rotate around a rotation axis; a first shaft, which is mounted so as to rotate around the rotation axis and supports the throttle shutter; an electric actuator, which is provided with a second shaft and is designed to rotate the shaft around the rotation axis; a support bearing, which supports the shaft in a through manner and is arranged on the outside of the tubular duct; and a spring, which applies to the shaft an elastic force, which axially pushes the shaft and, at the same time, is configured to transmit a rotary motion around the rotation axis from the second shaft of the electric actuator to the first shaft supporting the throttle shutter.

Externally-damped electromechanical valve assemblies well-suited for deployment within high vibratory operating environments, such as those associated with work vehicle engines, are provided. In embodiments, the valve assembly includes a housing through which a flow passage extends, a valve element positioned in the flow passage, a valve actuator, and control electronics electrically coupled to the valve actuator. The valve assembly may also contain a constrained layer damper including a first mass element and a first viscoelastic layer. The first mass element is mounted in suspension to the housing exterior for movement relative thereto when the first mass element is excited by vibrations transmitted through the housing. Constrained between the first mass element and the housing exterior, the first viscoelastic layer deflects in shear as the first mass element moves relative to the housing to attenuate the vibrations transmitted through the housing by conversion of vibrational energy to heat.
